New York City Democratic Socialists is the NYC local of Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist organization in the United States with over 90,000 members (as of February, 2021). NYC-DSA is run by its thousands of members and activists who are working together to build a democratic socialist organization in the five boroughs. We are socialists because we want to work together to develop a concrete strategy for achieving that vision, for achieving a transition to democratic socialism in America. We believe that such a strategy must acknowledge the class structure of American society and that this class structure means that there is a basic conflict of interest between those sectors with enormous economic power and the vast majority of the population. And we believe that only democratic movements and socialist parties can lead the way to a better world.
